This easy worksheet zooms in on how seeds turn into plants. Second graders sort six items into Helps a Seed Grow or Does NOT Help a Seed Grow, picking soil, sunlight, and water away from rocks, metal, and plastic. Five fill-in-the-blank sentences then walk through germination step by step, naming the seed coat, the first root, and the tiny stem that pushes up through the soil.

Four true or false questions check whether students know seeds need water and warmth from the sun, that soil matters, and that not every seed looks alike. Together these activities give kids a clear, hands-on picture of what is happening underground before any leaves appear.
